    No. 1 • August 2009 In Search of an Obama Trade Policy By Claude Barfield and Philip I. Levy President Obama’s trade policy is an elusive beast. There will be claims of a sighting—as when U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Ron Kirk emerged for a speech in May1—only to have the authenticity of the sighting called into question—as when the White House quickly disowned Kirk’s remarks. Analysts in search of the true Obama trade policy are left sifting through spoor, trying to follow a trail. Of course, the very difficulty of the task conveys important information: trade policy is not a high priority for the Obama administration. Awkwardly, though, this disinterest comes at a time when the rest of the world has repeatedly indicated its eagerness for action to bolster the global trading system, when the warmer diplomatic relations that the Obama administration seeks often depend upon tighter trade ties, and when Congress has been particularly emboldened in its protectionist passions. The lack of a clear vision for U.S. trade policy, Events, Dear Boy, Events combined with the reality that congressional Democrats—particularly in the House of In last year’s presidential election, Barack Obama Representatives—are deeply conflicted on trade took perhaps the most skeptical stance toward and globalization, has produced a series of embar- rassing, contradictory signals and gaffes by newly appointed Obama administration officials (not Key points in this Outlook: least USTR Kirk).

  • Lobbying the Executive Branch: Current Practices and Options for Change
    Lobbying the Executive Branch: Current Practices and Options for Change Jacob R. Straus Analyst on the Congress December 1, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40947 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Lobbying the Executive Branch: Current Practices and Options for Change Summary Under the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) of 1995, as amended, individuals are required to register with the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate if they lobby either legislative or executive branch officials. In January 2009, Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner placed further restrictions on the ability of lobbyists to contact executive branch officials responsible for dispersing Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA, P.L. 110-243) funds. Subsequently, President Barack Obama and Peter Orszag, Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), issued a series of memoranda between March and July 2009 that govern communication between federally registered lobbyists and executive branch employees administering American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-5) funds. Most recently, in October 2009, the White House directed executive agencies to prohibit, when possible, the appointment of federally registered lobbyists to federal advisory bodies and committees. The Recovery and Reinvestment Act lobbying restrictions focus on both written and oral communications between lobbyists and executive branch officials. Pursuant to the President’s memoranda, restrictions have been placed on certain kinds of oral and written interactions between federally registered lobbyists and executive branch officials responsible for Recovery Act fund disbursement. The President’s memoranda require each agency to post summaries of oral and written contacts with lobbyists on dedicated agency websites.
